What to expect

Kay Catt has a nickname - Scaredy Catt. And with good reason. You've never met a more timid, anxious girl in your life. And when you meet her dad, you'll start to understand why. But when a mysterious old man is spotted on Storey Street, it heralds the start of a great adventure for Kay. Because Wilf Wilkinson isn't your average, cardigan-wearing, sherbet lemon-sucking old codger. Oh no. Wilf wears a cloak, and a strange pointy hat, and his walking stick looks suspiciously like an over-sized wand.

Wilf couldn't be a wizard...could he?

Critics Review

Superbly illustrated by Sara Ogilvie, this is a hilarious story with a very positive and encouraging conclusion… sad it is the last in the series.

Parents in Touch

Hilarious and sometimes heart-breaking Phil chooses, like in ‘The War Next Door’, to take the usually one dimensional characters and allow us, the reader, to discover what has shaped them and made them the way they are. […] I’m extremely sad to see the end of the Storey Street stories but I know that they will live in the imaginations of the children in my school for a long time to come.

Book Lover Jo

this is a lovely book with all the right ingredients — goodies, baddies and the very mysterious Wilf.
